Weekly cup number 14. And now off to the Salone del Mobile in Milan to see how other people create the cups....

Original is Volvo ec210
M about 1:20
And yes: there is sand at the teeth of the bucket out of my kids sandbox ;-)

I hope the pictures are descibing the project best. On pic SAM_4173 the lower part of the body is shown with holes for batteries. It was redesigned that a big pb battery fits now. The two servos in the arm have about 120 Ncm, the big one in the body about 260 Ncm.
In the tracks and for turnig there are the the cheapest servos ever in there for about 2,5€.
The servos in the tracks are hacked so that the pwm signal still works but they do it continously. Just search the web for "pwm servo hack"!
In the turnshaft i soldered the + and - of the servos togeter to reduce lines from 6 to 4.
The tooth gears are bought:

Maybe you can also print them, I can't.
The tracks are in fact a derivate from thingiverse.com/thing:36305
Thank you LoialOtter!

Marble elevator (hence Marblevator) combined with snap together sectional track and adjustable tressels made using Sketchup 8, ReplicatorG and a Replicator 2 3D printer.

Video of Marbelvator in action at youtube.com/watch?v=MqLSIlFAPhw.

Video of Marbelvator track with cross unders at youtube.com/watch?v=0wOupVt8v1c.

Video of a Marblevator track using only 5 track sections at youtube.com/watch?v=QmMVvP7tny4.

Video of Marblevator using 14mm marbles at youtube.com/watch?v=7KzasInFa6g.

Video of prototype at youtube.com/watch?v=pmjuzHZ6XwY.

With the Marbelvator, sectional track and adjustable tressels, an enumerable number of track layouts can be assembled with snap / slide together construction. Print more track sections and tressels and build a bigger Marblevator.

Yet more MendelMax cable clips for 20/20 Misumi-type aluminium extrusions based on Wilsons excellent original style.
Three sizes here and included is a plate of 8 small and 8 medium ones which are probably what you will be wanting if you are building a Mendel Max.
Following Wilsons original design they just clip on and can be (fairly) easily removed to add or alter wiring.
Also included are the HeeksCad files if you want to alter them further.

This thing enables you to print your music! It will create a melody Strip out of your music notes ready to use with those DIY Music Box Kits available! Simply place notes at a certain beat, print it and play the music you like.

EDIT 03/06/2013: User Benjamin posted a link to a flash-site where you can place your notes on a note sheet and get the note string automatically! Thank you, Benjamin! Here the link: chaaawa.com/note_string_helper/

Frame to support edges of Arduino Mega.

The trouble with 3D printing a ball bearing is that spheres don't adhere to the 45 degree rule, so they tend to print poorly, or if metal balls are used instead, then the bearing requires assembly. This is a new kind of bearing that can only be manufactured by 3D printing and comes preassembled.

It is a planetary gearset and functions like a cross between a needle bearing and a thrust bearing. No cage is required to keep the rollers in place, because their gearing keeps them perfectly spaced. The gears are all herringbone, which is why it cannot be disassembled and also why it can act as a thrust bearing. If you're wondering how well a 3D printed bearing could work under load, please check out my video: youtu.be/ZghwSBiM0sU

This design is fully parametric and made to be adjusted in the Customizer app to whatever you need. Thanks to aubenc for finding a problem in the first version.

A Pot Leaf for all of your Pot Leaf needs.

The Lowpoly 4000 represents a paradigm shift in modern additive object manufacturing. Not only is it unwieldy and overlarge, but it's tippy and prone to phase shifts. Use of tongs and or safety goggle recommended.

Thank you for enjoying Lowpoly 4000. Please have a safe and productive holiday season joy time.

1/26/13 - Currently available for sale at the 3DEA/Openhouse Gallery in NYC along with several of my other designs (and many more awesome objects by others)! If you want one, don't have a printer, and are in New York, now's your chance. The store will be open through February 17. :D

Was playing with another lofting profile in C4D, the twisted star. Looks like a saw blade to me.

All printed in Taulman 618 nylon and dyed different colors. I printed all the larger vessels on a 1/4" piece of poplar wood as the build surface heated to 60 degrees. Perfect adhesion and easy release. Wood is good!

The little one was printed on our Sailfish-running Thing-o-Matic in the new 1.75mm Taulman 618. I have a spring-loaded idler on an MK7 and had no problems at all with accelerated printing at 60mm/sec. Printed on masking tape and it stuck fine, though I do recommend wood for larger prints. As usual, Sailfish just rocks and the print is absolutely beautiful, hence all the close ups.

Vase with ear printed on a ultimaker in 15 minutes and 38 seconds. First tries with 'mesh mixer' by autodesk...

This year i will upload a new cup every week. This is number two...! Done in Blender, getting better and better.... The trick is displacement mapping.

Weekly cup number seven...! This year i will upload a new cup every week.

The first cup in Februari, a pattern by macouno.com, a Blender artist who also design patterns...! This year i will upload a new cup every week. This is number five...!

Valentine is coming, make two this time... This year i will upload a new cup every week. This is number six...!

Heart shape vase with a ribbed exterior

added solid version
*******************************
my appoligies, the original solid version did not have the bottom/top flat.
blddk discovered and posted this
thingiverse.com/thing:46401
I have updated mine as well to prevent further inconvenience.
Thanks for finding the issue , blddk.

Another twisted vase design.

Aquarian Vase.

ZiggyVase (formerly ZigZagVase)

I added 2 solid versions for those who want
to print 0% infill and "cut" the top in software or g-code
#############################
Was informed that this existed with the same name
thingiverse.com/thing:36912
My appoligies, I am renaming mine to minimize confusion. I can only guess i saw the prior art and was inspired but forgot the original. Not my intention. (in fact i had posted a "Like" on the prior art so I can't claim ignorance, just stupidity) Again my appoligies.

A random object made to test the new Netfabb profiles for Ultimaker. Works great as a toothbrush cup! I printed mine with the Standard VASE profile (0.15mm layersize).

(PLEASE DOWNLOAD V2 instead of randomvase.stl)

V2: Fixed some angles which might have prevented slicing and printing with certain layer sizes. Re-edited the topology on the top and bottom sides.
Also added a version with thick walls, if anyone wants to print it that way, should work in skeinforge too.

Added a 3 mm wall version.

A delta 3D printer based off of the three vertical drive towers used on the Rostock printer. Designed for 1.75mm ABS.

This year i will upload a new cup every week. This is number three...! Done in Blender, the trick is displacement mapping...

You will need 608 bearing and a spring.

(Check out the derivative thing which I find works better)

Trying to sort out the mess of cables on my desk. The name is a reflection on the shape of the hub, which is the result of trying to maximize the bending radius of the cable.

Of course the OpenSCAD sources are fully parametric but comments are lacking...

Update: Updated scad file before first print to reduce overhangs on the lid.

Update2: Made two of these spools now, and not entirely satisfied... This design is too weak to work well with less flexible cables. Also, unwinding is a pain because the cable tends to unwind inside the spool making it jam. Next, I will try a detachable lid that snaps over the cable.

Another heart, another vase, but with a twist.
Give something presented in this "thing" and offer your heart forever(ish).

Good for Valentines.
